Question

An online video streaming service offers two plans for unlimited streaming.

Plan A has a one-time $25 membership fee and is $8 per month.

Plan B has a $12 membership fee and is $5 per month.

Write the system of equations!

Answer 1

y=8x+25

y=5x+12

Explanation:

To write a system of equations you must write an equation for both plan A and B. For plan A, the 25 dollars is the constant because it is only paid once. The 8 dollars must be multiplied by the variable x because it is paid each month. These added together will equal the total cost or y. In plan B the 12 dollars is the constant and 5 is being multiplied by the variable.
